Since Internet was born on UNIX machines, you find plenty of nice and
easy-to-use applications under Linux. Here are just some:
- Mail: use
elm or pine to handle your email; both
programs have on-line help. For short messages, you could use mail , as
in mail -s "hello mate" user@somewhere < msg.txt . You may like programs
like xmail or some such.
- Newsgroups: use
tin or slrn , both very intuitive and
self-explanatory.
- ftp: apart from the usual character-based
ftp , ask your
sysadm to install the full-screen ncftp or a graphical ftp client like
xftp .
- WWW: the ubiquitous
netscape , or xmosaic ,
chimera , and arena are graphical web browsers; a character-based
one is lynx , quick and effective.
